Let’s keep it 100%
Homeownership isn’t rocket science; it’s just a game most people were never taught how to play. And when you don’t know the rules, it’s easy to feel like you’re “not ready,” “not qualified,” or “not the type” to own anything.
But here’s the truth:
If you can pay rent, you can build wealth.
It’s just about shifting how you move.
This is not your basic, boring 101 blog — this is the Coach Moore Real-Talk Edition. The kind your mama, your favorite auntie, and your credit score all want you to read.
Let’s break it down.
🔑 Lesson #1 — Renting Isn’t the Problem… Staying There Is
Life be life-ing, and sometimes renting makes sense.
But long-term renting?
That’s the trap.
Every month you’re either:
✔️ Building someone else’s equity
or
✔️ Building your own
Rent is not evil.
But staying in the same place for years with nothing to show for it?
That’s what stops families from creating generational wealth.
💡 Lesson #2 — Your Credit Doesn’t Need to Be Perfect
Read that again.
You do NOT need:
🚫 An 800 score
🚫 A perfect history
🚫 A six-figure salary
🚫 A rich co-signer
You need:
✔️ A plan
✔️ A starting point
✔️ A lender who talks to you like a human
✔️ Consistency
Your score can be imperfect but improving and still get you approved.
💰 Lesson #3 — You Don’t Need 20% Down. That’s a Myth.
People stop themselves before they even start because they think buying a home requires a mountain of cash.
Not today. Not in this economy.
Here’s the real tea:
- FHA loans start at 3.5% down
- VA loans require $0 down
- USDA loans require $0 down
- Down Payment Assistance can cover ALL or SOME of your upfront costs
You can literally walk into your home with less out-of-pocket than your last apartment deposit.
🧠 Lesson #4 — You’re Not Behind. You Just Haven’t Started YET.
A lot of folks avoid homeownership because they feel embarrassed about:
• Past mistakes
• Bad decisions
• “Starting too late”
• Not knowing where to begin
Let me speak life into you real quick:
You are not late. You are starting when YOU are ready.
Homeownership is not about age — it’s about alignment, information, and action.
📅 Lesson #5 — The First Step Is Easier Than You Think
You don’t start by:
❌ Touring houses
❌ Choosing paint colors
❌ Looking at Zillow at 2AM
You start by doing ONE thing:
👉 Ask a lender where you stand today.
Not tomorrow.
Not “when I fix everything.”
Not “after I save more.”
Today.
That conversation gives you:
- Your real numbers
- Your real timeline
- Your real blueprint
- Your real power
Most people who think they can’t buy… actually CAN.
🏠 Final Word: You Deserve Stability, Ownership, and Options
Homeownership is not about bragging rights.
It’s about freedom.
Freedom from rising rent.
Freedom from uncertainty.
Freedom to build a legacy your kids can inherit instead of start from zero.
You’re not just trying to buy a house…
You’re breaking cycles and building a foundation for generations.
And that?
That’s Legacy Energy. 💙💛🔥
